Bone Daddies vs Tonkotsu vs Shoryu review – which is the best ...

The tender, braised slices of pork weren’t very fatty but they did have a charred quality to them, while the bamboo strips were tender, the egg was slightly runny and salty while the noodles themselves were very hearty and had a slight springiness to them.

Bone Daddies seems to like experimenting with new types of ramen dishes, as my own Three Miso Ramen was quite unlike any ramen The Lensman had encountered during his various trips to Japan.

I opted for the oddly-named T22, a soy miso ramen but made using chicken bones instead of pork bones like the tonkotsu.

The real highlights are the tender, fatty strips of pork, the rich, runny, salty eggs and the hearty, springy noodles.

It’s far better than any of the ramen noodle soups I had at Shoryu and it’s almost the equal of the different Three Miso Ramen from Bone Daddies.

If one Tonkotsu in Haggerston just wasn;t enough for you - they're now also opening a two-week pop-up at Haggerston-based Proud East For a short time only, visitors to the gallery will be able their fix of their salty, filling ramen when Tonkotsu takes over their open-plan kitchen.

You’ll be able to match your meal with your evening, as the residency is all part of Pop Up Japan!

, a themed event at the gallery celebrating Japanese cuisine and culture.

If you miss out on Tonkotsu’s pop-up though, don’t feel too hard done by - Tonkotsu East will continue to be open for business on Dunston Street, which is only a (very) short walk away.

Trip Kitchen - restaurant review | London Evening Standard

Nevertheless, Trip Space, a new concept to land in Haggerston, managed to find two railway arches.

Next door is Trip Kitchen, a restaurant (presumably for the yogis to drop into for a bite, post-savasana), with Turkish Cypriot-inspired food by Selin Kiazim, formerly head chef at Peter Gordon’s Kopapa.

Haggerston is clearly the place to open a new restaurant.

Right next to the Trip Space is Tonkotsu East, the offshoot of the popular and super-tasty, ramen-serving original Tonkotsu in Soho.

The menu changes regularly but two of our favourites — the Balik Ekmek (grilled sardine and black olive croûte) and the pomegranate glazed lamb with yoghurt (£7), which had the ideal combination of rich, sharp and sweet flavours, have staying power and have kept their places on the board.

An industrial-chic setting under railway arches, together with noodles that are made in-house, boost this ramen joint’s allure.

In 2012 a horde of noodlemeisters moved into central London with one thing on their mind: ramen.

Like the bare-brick look, the menu is minimal with a handful of side dishes and four types of ramen (for now at least).

A dish of dipping ramen (tsukemen) came with thick-cut noodles topped with rolled pork slices, half a soft-boiled egg and a bowl of thick, deep pork-bone broth.

For a big bowl of comfort food in east London, this noodle joint definitely fills more than just a hole in the wall.
